  1. Yes, the Brits have strange ideas but it looks as if that one held a torpedo - which makes it even stranger.

  2. Torpedoes AND depth charges. And, it's a turboprop. Actually an interesting solution for how to do a sub Hunter on a small carrier just after World War II. Sure looks weird and ugly though. FormerFlyer
